Referendum Question 3 Goes Beyond a Background Check
By David Trahan
onAugust 12, 2016
Supporters of Question 3 (to expand firearm background checks to private sales) continually repeat this key campaign talking point: "Question 3 on November's ballot is simple, straight-forward and common sense. It requires a background check for all gun sales and transfers, with exceptions for family members, hunting and self-defense."
Under scrutiny, that claim doesn't stand up.

The "leftists" in this will never accept compromise, only total control. Consider what Question 3 would entail [from Maine wire, http://www.themainewire.com/2016/08/ref ... und-check/]:
Question 3 proponents have cleverly redefined "transfers" to mean any occurrence in which a person furnishes, gives, lends or otherwise provides, with or without "consideration" a firearm.
This potential massive new expansion of the application of the federal NICS background check extends the mandatory NICS check far beyond selling a firearm.
In addition, the proposed law requires that firearm dealers who agree to facilitate a sale or transfer under that section must "process the sale or transfer as though selling or transferring the firearm from its own inventory."
What that means is every non-exempt firearm "transfer" in which gun owners have traditionally shared or loaned firearms, such as loaning a trusted friend a shotgun to go hunting or for target practice on private property, or for potential self-defense use, involves a form 4473, submitting to a NICS background check and paying the dealer's fee.
If the law passes this is what loaning a firearm to a friend would look like:
First, you and a friend would have to meet at the premises of a federally licensed firearm dealer willing to conduct the "transfer." The dealer would take the firearm you intend to loan, have your friend fill out a 4473 form, and call the NICS hotline. If your friend passes the check, the dealer would take the firearm into his inventory, complete the form 4473 and any other necessary paperwork, and charge a fee, likely between $30 and $50. [50$ MINIMUM; an unwanted, time consuming cash cow for FFL dealers]
Seems simple, except that for all legal purposes your friend appears to be the owner of record, so in order to get your gun back, you should have a formal loan agreement, at an additional unknown cost.
That isn't all.
In order to get your gun back (another "transfer"), you have to do the same thing in reverse — undergo the NICS check and pay another $30-$50. Estimated cost of loaning your gun to a friend: around $60-$100, plus the cost of a loan agreement.
Supporters of Question 3 say there are exemptions, except those are so narrowly written they cause more problems than they solve. For example the hunting exemption is only for when the lender and borrower are together and the hunting "activity is legal in all places where the transferee possesses the firearm." There are a thousand different situations where this may cause a problem: legal hunting hours, posted land, buffers around farm buildings, and the like.
In addition, because the law creates a vast new area of potential criminal offenses, hunters risk encounters with law enforcement and potentially being charged with a class D crime, (first offense), punishable by a fine up to $2,000 and a year in jail; for a second offense, a class C felony, punishable by up to five years imprisonment and a $5,000 fine (and the loss of firearm rights forever under federal law). That, for an offense of simply handing a gun to another person who is not otherwise prohibited from firearm possession.
Question 3 is far from "common sense" or "simple."
Those people who support background checks for firearm sales should ask their legislators to introduce a bill in the next session that truly and genuinely addresses such sales, but vote against Question 3. It goes way too far.

Art and the Great Outdoors
On nearly every wall in nearly every room of the galleries here at the Cleveland Museum of Art I see some glimpse of nature. Everywhere I look, some vast landscape vista, nature scene, or shimmering flower-spotted blue behemoth (I'm thinking of you, Water Lilies) catches my eye, stoking my desire to seek the outdoors and escape from our familiar web of concrete and asphalt. I have become somewhat of an outdoor enthusiast, exploring many wonderful places—Zion National Park, Adirondack Park, and Cleveland's own Cuyahoga Valley National Park to name a few. However, my recent visit to Sitka, Alaska, was really something else. It's a two-hour flight from the tip of the lower 48, but is hardly more than a gateway to the rest of that incredible state. If Alaska was laid over the continental United States, the southern leg would stretch into Florida, the northern tip (well within the Arctic Circle) would reach to North Dakota, and the Aleutian Islands would spread all the way west to Los Angeles. Sitka, situated right on the Pacific coast at the base of towering mountains, gave me a small taste of nature's grandeur. It was the idea of Alaska's vast expanse that inspired me to write this post, featuring artwork through which I can reflect on my experiences in the outdoors.
The flight from Seattle to Sitka follows the island-dotted coast of Canada and Alaska. Through the small gaps peppering the clouds below the plane, it was difficult for me to distinguish the terrain: was that dark jagged bolt an inlet jutting into the land or a peninsula cutting through the ocean? I gazed across the bumpy surface of the clouds—or were the bumps in fact mountain peaks penetrating from Alaska and Canada's ranges? We often talk about our "favorite" natural settings: the ocean, the coast, the mountains…but from such a perspective all of those disparate settings are revealed to be intertwined as one nature rather than several parts. I see this very truth in Richard Diebenkorn's Berkeley #42, an aerial view of a coastline, seen here running vertically through the lower half.
Berkeley #42, 1955. Richard Diebenkorn (American, 1922-1993). Oil on canvas. Contemporary Collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. © The Estate of Richard Diebenkorn.
This work of Abstract Expressionism distills a typical landscape to its bare essence. For me, the essence Berkeley #42 evokes is the spirit of nature conceived as a whole.
I'm always so disappointed with the pictures I take of vistas. They're always missing some indescribable sensation I had when experiencing it with my own eyes. This isn't the case with Albert Bierstadt's Yosemite Valley of 1866. What makes this work so true to me is less the magnificent scene than the thin trail and pair with their horse in the lower right.
Yosemite Valley, 1866. Albert Bierstadt (American, 1830-1902). Oil on canvas on panel-back stretcher. Hinman B. Hurlbut Collection.
When I arrived at the tip of Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, I was floored by the majesty of the canyon and the sublime sunlight streaming through the clouds and glowing on the red-brown walls—similar to Bierstadt's depiction of Half-Dome here. What really made that view in Zion so special to me, however, was the strenuous hike 3,000 feet up the canyon wall on switchbacks followed by the half-mile tightrope act along a knife-edge ridge, featuring a trail at most two feet wide with a sheer drop to the canyon floor on each side. The exhaustion and adrenaline from that grueling hike formed an integral part of the image I was seeing at the end. The pair in Yosemite Valley must feel the same way, out in what was then the far reaches of the frontier, accessible only by hardship, determination, and sheer willpower. When I see such views I am humbled, not amazed. Nature does not just plop itself before our eyes—we have to earn our fleeting look.
We throw around the word "wilderness" so much that it ought to apply to any patch of woods more than half an hour outside a city center. I imagine wilderness as a place where I have no advantages, where I'm no more special than a deer or tree, stuck in the cyclical and essential routine of survival. I know I've never been in real wilderness (I suspect few have), but the closest I've been to that feeling was my first solo camping experience on what was my first real backpacking trip. I was alone for 48 hours with only a small amount of food, a tarp, and a sleeping bag, and any sense of comfort or security required some act of labor. Nothing could be taken for granted. I basically didn't sleep my first night, startled by every sound and the frightening conjurings my imagination pulled from the darkness (our flashlights had been taken from us). I had always had this idyllic conception of camping, but on that solo I found that nature is not necessarily comforting and friendly. I get this same reality check from these two works: New Mexico Recollection,c. 1923, by Marsden Hartley and Storm in the Mountains, 1847, by Frederic Edwin Church. Their dark and even ominous tone reflects an awareness of nature's overwhelming and unforgiving routine, something we can only be fully aware of in true wilderness.

Storm in the Mountains, 1847. Frederic Edwin Church (American, 1826-1900). Oil on canvas. Gift of various donors by exchange and Purchase from the J. H. Wade Fund.
These are just a few of many depictions of nature, a subject that has fascinated artists for as long as there has been art. Discover what they mean to you by experiencing them yourself at the Cleveland Museum of Art!

Sorry for the delay in posting I stayed up to late last night chatting with Beth and Lucie.
Yesterday was a much more enjoyable ride. We were down to just the three of us plus Beth. I always thing a smaller group is going to heed in a better ride. Maxxi wasn't in love with the horse she rode the day before so she was given Ellie who had gone out with us the day before and looked like a sweet mare. Cary although she liked Charlie asked for a different horse. Peter and Linda were the horse options. Miranda who had ridden him on Saturday had given Peter a bad reputation. She said he didn't like to canter and she didn't like him. Cary quickly jumped at Linda instead of Peter so I got to ride him instead. Peter is a big sweet slightly stubborn bloke who it took some convincing and snacks that it would be fun to follow me out of the field. The ponies were on the other side of the stream in the morning so the wellies were necessary. Mine had a whole in one of them and I took on some water and needed to change my sock before riding. I left one wet footprint through the stable yard as I went to change them. Since Peter wasn't a psychopath like Cariad I decided to bring my camera along in a saddlebag. Taking pictures stilled proved to be a bit challenging but I managed to snap a few. It was threatening to rain so we all put on our raincoats. Beth's fancy new long coat had grown legs and walked off since she last saw it on Thursday. Considering it hadn't rained all last week this wondering seemed suspicious. It was a new coat and quite posh and expensive so it was completely justified the frustration and anger. Maxxi had a beautiful rain jacket which I want one just like it. I would ride in the rain more often if I had a coat like that. It looked like a fancy medieval princess gown covering the rump of Ellie. If it rained Ellie and Maxxi would stay nice and dry. We headed out for the lake today, which we had seen when we looked down into the valley yesterday.
I had a big stick to help encourage Peter to move on. My pony back home is quite slow and needing encouragement to move forward so I am use to having to ride a horse forward. I was told that Peter's personality and willingness to go depends on his rider. Miranda was a little timid about cantering and I'm sure Peter picked up on that and didn't feel it was necessary to work any harder than he needed to if his rider wasn't willing to do it. Peter is a trotting horse much like a standard bred back home. They can cover vast distances at a long trot and not really need to canter. He did have a nice canter though. At one of the gate stops we spotted a very nice stick on the ground which Beth retrieved and I inherited. I looked a bit silly with 2 sticks but I they came in quite useful later in the ride.
We passed the Alpacs that we had seen the day before and after crossing the road and into the bracken field we spotted a flock of sheep and decided to maybe chase them. Peter jumped into a very nice comfortable canter. Beth was riding Mel a sweet mare and grandmother to Ellie who Maxxi was riding. Mel was 22 and has had 10 foals and looks amazing. The sheep got away from us but it was a great canter. Since we were heading to the lake it meant a lot of downward walking. We crossed into a field with some cows. They were very interested in us and we had to shoo them away so we could enter the second field which contained even more cows. So we had a herd in front of us and one behind and a gate that all four of us had to get through and not let any cows switch fields. The farmer was repairing the fence at this junction as well and found our situation hilarious. The cows were young and very very interested in the horses. The horses were doing fine with the cow situation but really just wanted to pass through the fence. Beth was waving her stick at the cows saying "move cows move" which was doing absolutely nothing. I suggested that maybe the nice farmer would help us. He was to busy pissing himself laughing in our situation as were all three of us riders. We managed to skirt through the fence into the herd of big-eyed cows. Beth remounted and we attempted to continue on. Ellie wasn't super keen on the cows and had her bum plastered to my horse Peter which resulted on Ellie pooing all over the back of Peter. We started walking down the field with about 50-75 cows loping along behind us. Other youngsters from across the field came galloping over to see what the commotion and excitement was all about. Cows are so cute and dopy looking and they were so excited and interested in these four strangers in their field. I wish I had been able to pull out my camera in all of this. This moment would have made a perfect video and You tube sensation. We came to the bottom of the field and another gate. The gate was tied with string so Beth went to work on untying that as we used our sticks to shoo the cows away. The gate was opened and we again had a narrow escape through the fence and a bunch of sad faces leering through the fence wondering why their new horse friends left them behind.
We continued on through a sweet little town towards the lake. The lake was quite popular for boating and families to visit. We cantered around a bit and took the ponies down to the lake entry. They didn't really seem to want to go into the water to chilly today. It didn't rain but the raincoats were very helpful in wind prevention. We parked the ponies under some trees. Peter was very interested in what I was getting out of my saddlebags. I had my camera in a plastic bag and crinkly plastic bag my be internationally known as "potential food receptacle". I promised to share my apple with Peter and Mel who were both giving me the "I'm so cute an hungry" faces when I left for lunch. We headed to the lunch shop, which was very busy. Apparently most other shops are closed on Monday so all the overflow was going to this shop. I ordered the veggie burger it was interesting. We were all starving after waiting so long for our food and inhaled it which we regretted later. Peter enjoyed his apple core and we mounted up and headed off again. The ponies were feeling good after their rest and Peter the big old guy that he was bounced and did some baby bucks being all excited about life.
We headed back up the hill and chased a few more sheep on our way back home. Peter although he is a seasoned trekker was still convinced everything was going to eat him. Bins, sheep, rocks, shadows he all gave them the hairy eyeball to. He was very brave a few times when it was necessary. All in all he was a blast to ride even though his previous rider who gave him a bad review misunderstood him. I loved him. We were just about back at the farm when we encountered an injured lamb (eyeball issue and we will leave it at that) we found the local farmers and they headed out to look for it.
Back in the yard we met back up with Lucie and Paul who had a busy day breaking new young horses to ride. The horses were cleaned up and fed and turned back out to the field and everyone had a good roll. This seems to be the routine when they are turned back out.. drop and roll. All the other horses were happy their friends were back. Everyone gets turned out together and it's super cute to see the love triangles that occur in the herd. Cobweb is desperately in love with Dark Lady (he rests his head on her back all the time) however Dark Lady is in love with Peter. They all have their buddies and girlfriend/boyfriends. Its cute.
Tea was served on the tables and Paul was excited to learn about all the American tack shop websites (horse.com dover saddlery, Valley Vet) as they are in search of new saddlebags.
I showed Beth the video of the singer I saw and she agreed very cute and we also scrolled through pictures of my herd of horses back home. The dinner bell rang.. potatoes again. Maxxi had some rice-cake crackers that I grabbed a few that I can put peanut butter on if I am starving later. Beth also said she could run me to the shops so I won't starve this week eating carrots and potatoes. There was beet soup that was very good.
The evening ended in the room of dead animals aka the lounge chatting with the girls. There is a big debate on who the "Beast" actually is. They don't think she is actually Cariad but could potentially be Georgia. Although Georgia's the passport markings don't really match up. She will now just be known as "Beast"

An Amplifying Experience!!
With an honor's degree in political science and substantial work experience to my credit, I had a plethora of options for pursuing my higher education. However my heart was already set on Amplify. I had visited the Amplify campus on an earlier occasion and had been impressed by the Institute…. from the size of the campus and the appealing architecture of the Institute to its residential accommodation, lecture halls and even the college canteen! In my mind's eye, I could see that this is the place where I belonged.
When I was doing my graduation from Delhi. I used to hear people say that Pune is the "Oxford" of India. I used to find this hard to believe. I always thought of Pune as a large industrial city with all auto majors having their manufacturing units here…closer to being a "Detroit" than an "Oxford"! Yet, when I look back, I now realize how apt this tag of "Oxford" fits Pune. It is indeed a centre for learning, where numerous academic institutions create a kind of knowledge eco-system.
Amplify has a highly distinguished faculty and one big value-add that the Amplify faculty create for the students, besides conducting lectures, is finding opportunities for the students to participate in real-life scenarios…to experience and implement what they learn in the classroom. Take the example of our Institute Principal who taught us the basics of hotel management. As part of the curriculum, he asked to take up the college canteen as a project and apply our academic learning to improve the college canteen! So simple and yet so relevant. Our faculty would spend hours with us looking at our project work, guiding us on areas of improvement and teaching us value systems and work-life philosophy…..something that is so much more important than just bookish "gyaan". You almost feel that the faculty is like an extended part of your family and that they really care for you .
What one learns outside the classroom is as important as what one learns in the classroom. At Amplify I got ample opportunities for both. I believe that, sometimes when you get into a fiercely competitive institute, you end up spending most of your time in the rat-race and perhaps learn only what gets taught in the classroom. But when you come to a place like Amplify, you have an opportunity for 360 degree self-development. I had the opportunity to participate in all kinds of college festivals, competitions, programs and other extracurricular activities. I got a chance to organize the HR conclave (attended by luminaries such as Kiran Bedi (IPS), Lila Poonwala (Alpha-Laval) and K.C. Chhabria (Finolex) and then of course the opportunity to re-create the college canteen I mentioedn earlier.
I felt that my experience at Amplify helped me to grow in many ways. I feel lucky to have been a part of BVP's Amplify Post-Graduate course in Human Resources. And believe it has helped me prepare well for the challenges of life ahead.

Graduation caps fly in the air!!
Joyfully tossing the graduation caps in the air, ex-students of Amplify Mindware made the most of their convocation day! The lanes of the Campus were filled with joy and laughter; every student seemed to be enthused about the ceremony. The maroon colored robes and caps stood out from the rest of the crowd. The bright, almost gaudy color suited the mood of the occasion perfectly.
Where are you working? What's your designation like? These were the typical questions that Amplify students asked their recently graduated friends. Almost all ex-students had bagged good jobs in leading companies in India. Professors of the graduating class were seen praising their students with pride.
After the ceremony, students had mixed emotions – some had tears of joy and happiness, from meeting their friends and the reality of being a graduate. On the other hand, some had tears of sadness rolling down their cheeks, from missing the strong attachments and bonding they had built up over the years at Amplify!!
Here is a video of an ex-student, Milli Bhaumick who studied Telecom Management. She shares with us the entire journey and the experiences of being at AMPLIFY MINDWARE.

We're very confident that the steps we have put in place to assure the safety of seafood have worked
Douglas Karas, Food and Drug Administration
While restaurateurs express confidence in the safety of seafood from the Gulf of Mexico after last year's oil spill, consumers aren't so sure, a poll finds.
"We'd never do anything to endanger our reputation and our customers," said Ben Thibodeaux, chef at New Orleans' Palace Cafe where barbecued shrimp, redfish almondine and softshell crabs are all prepared with fresh-caught gulf fish and shellfish.
But consumers still have doubts, as an informal online poll by USA Today found. Fifty-nine percent of those surveyed said they still wouldn't eat seafood from the gulf.
Government regulators say they're satisfied with measures taken to assure the safety of gulf seafood.
"We're very confident that the steps we have put in place to assure the safety of seafood have worked," Douglas Karas of the Food and Drug Administration said.
The FDA and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration "established an extensive program of sampling in response to the spill," Karas said.
More than 10,000 samples have been taken, and results have consistently been 100 to 1,000 times below levels of concern, he said.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long did it take you to lose 75 pounds and what are the expectations for an average book reader?
A: It took 2 years for me, but the bulk of weight loss (50 pounds) took place within 9 months after I started intermittent fasting. With the benefit of my experience, I would say a reader can cut my time in half. Average pace of 1-2 pounds a week is to be expected, except for a first month when initial weight loss is typically larger.
Q: How often and for how long do you fast?
A: Twice a week, one day at a time, and it's not even a full fast. You consume 500-600 hundred calories, limiting your meals to protein and leafy greens.
Q: Isn't fasting too radical?
A: Not at all. It's a part of an age-long tradition across cultures, countries, customs, and religions. It's our modern fascination with constant eating that is a radical and an unhealthy departure from the way we were intended to eat.
Q: Is hunger a problem aspect of a weight loss drive when following your method?
A: Amazingly, no. You quickly learn that it's easy to deal with when you follow the procedure, and then it simply disappears. As a reward for a minor and brief inconvenience, your taste sensations amplify greatly, so you enjoy your food more.
Q: If fasting is the most effective weight loss strategy, why does your method also include replacement of sugary and starchy food and drink?
A: Two reasons. One is, an excess of sugar promotes hunger, making fasting unnecessarily difficult. Another, it's simply not a good food for us – it has no nutritional value and contributes to a lot of health complications, including but not limited to, cardiovascular conditions, inflammation, obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, fatty liver disease, cancer… should I continue? Added sugar is basically a slow-acting poison.
Q: What about fermented foods? What role do they play in your method?
A: Again, two factors. One being, they are extremely beneficial to our gut flora. Being a strong probiotic, they restore the microbiome balance that we destroyed with sterile and unnatural industrial food. My entire approach aims to restore the body's hormonal balance, and the probiotic effect is a large part of that. Another: they are simply delicious.
Q: A problem with many diets is weight regain. Does this approach lead to a sustained weight loss? Why?
A: Fad diets create imbalance; they limit whole food groups or, in the case of mono diets, focus on a single food. That is unsustainable, and when you inevitably end the diet, the body quickly replenishes lost pounds. This yo-yo effect is well known to dieters. My approach, on the opposite, restores the balance and returns the body to its natural state. It changes the so-called "taste profile" – meaning, you no longer relish sugary stuff but instead enjoy healthy real foods. It's an enjoyable way of life, and it's easy to sustain what you enjoy.
Q: Are there medical contraindications to this approach?
A: Certainly, as with any other method. Let's be smart about this: pregnancy, breastfeeding, hypoglycemia, type 1 diabetes, and other serious medical conditions require consultations with your health practitioner.

As you can see from my earlier post I am doing some pieces for the RSPCA Affordable Art Fair at Norwich Arts Centre.
The badger cull has really touched me having already sold work for the Badger Trust so I thought I would continue the theme. This is the first of three pieces to go in.

All of that is neither here nor there, really. Today I just wanted to remind you that with the holidays comes travel for many of us. Thanksgiving is speeding toward us with the velocity of a frozen turkey dropping from a plane.
What popular sitcom from the 70's and 80's gives us the following quote, "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." Right... feel free to throw your guess in the comment section for that!
Anyway, back to the holidays. For some of us the only time we get to spend time with our friends and families is during the holiday season. Unfortunately, this year the standard airline price hikes are being compounded by a little news from Delta. The Today Show announced this morning that Delta is reporting they will be increasing fares and reducing the number of flights to compensate for the increase in cost of fuel. A little pre-holiday cheer there for you! So, if you're planning that holiday get away, you might want to be watching the prices fairly closely.
Now before you go thinking I'm going to leave you with only this dreary bit of "well that's just f*cking great" news, I do have something pretty awesome to share! I know there has been a lot of outrage about the amount of hoops a person must jump through to simply get to your gate these days. I've heard all sorts of complaints.
"Do I look like a TERRORIST?!" to which I reply... "Well forcing me to listen to your bitching is torture so uh... "
"It's a violation of privacy! I don't want to be fondled! Those new machines are just as bad. They show EVERYTHING!" but I can only say, "Some of us like that pat down, and those new machines don't show anything they can't already see except things you may have hidden on your body. Why the hell are you hiding shit on your body? That sweater isn't hiding the truth, sugar."
Still... for those of you with an aversion to a little public groping, more modesty than my granny, and concerns about radiation targeting your baby making equipment or your breasticles there is relief and it's only a click away. The best part... the makers of this "holy shit! why didn't I think of that!?" product pretended to try to make it practical AND sexy/fun/a joke.
|Image courtesy of http://www.rockyflatsgear.com
You're probably thinking I'm a sexist man-hater that doesn't care about protecting the male right to privacy or the need for radiation free sperm. You might be right (oh quit ya big babies). C'mon I bet a lot of men are sitting there smiling and thinking... radiation make sperm giant like godzira! Rawrrrrrrr! They thought of you too!
Don't ever say I don't love ya. I'm here to protect your privacy and your private parts! Fly safe, my lovelies.

The IFF's "Crochet Coral Reef Project" is now the largest participatory art+science endeavor in the world. By engaging communities in the act of making their own coral reefs, the Crochet Reef project highlights the devastating effects of global warming on marine ecosystems. Local community-based Reefs have been made in more than 25 cities around the world, including New York, London, Sydney, Riga and Cape Town. More than 3 million people have seen the resulting exhibitions. In 2011, for her work on the Crochet Reef project, Margaret was awarded the Theo Westenberger Award for Women of Excellence, from the Autry National Center. The prize is given to honor a living female artist. The IFF's work at the forefront of science+art is an outgrowth of Margaret's career as a science writer.

The first day of hockey in Las Vegas wasn't really about hockey at all.
You couldn't ask for a better way to launch a franchise.
The Golden Knights went on to score three more times in the period to take a commanding 4-1 lead after the first 20 minutes of regular season National Hockey League action in Las Vegas.
The players fed off the energy and put on a performance years in the making. We've got a very good team coming in.
After the video ended, nurses, doctors, firefighters and police officers were then introduced alongside Golden Knights players.
Numerous capacity 18,000 in attendance joined in singing the "Star-Spangled Banner" before Engelland - a longtime Las Vegas resident - spoke to the crowd. To the families and friends of the victims, know that we'll do everything we can to help you and our city heal.
Embracing the theme Vegas Strong, the team opened their Tuesday night game against the Arizona Coyotes with a tribute video that showcased the love, generosity and resilience of the city.
Just 2.5 minutes into the game, the Arizona Coyotes got caught flat-footed when they thought they had a turnover. Engelland had the crowd standing well before the game started. The night provided New Yorkers a brief pause from the pains of their tragedy. Last night in Las Vegas-- one of those moments. He hopes to follow the Golden Knights in addition to his Maple Leafs.
The players still walked a gold carpet into the arena before the game, cheered on by early arriving fans lining the walkway.
That says something about the quality of people in the organization.
If the Knights didn't feel a strong connection to Las Vegas before October 1-and who could blame them if they didn't? The truth is they had no tie to the community until Oct 1. But what was supposed to be a celebration of a first for a team, quickly taking second chair to the needs of a city. "I couldn't be more happy than to get one tonight". It was the least we could do for those people that went through that. "I think we all need hockey right now". The Knights are off to a 2-0 start, and only two other expansion teams - the 1967 Los Angeles Kings and 1967 Oakland Seals - started 2-0. Somehow they are 3-0, including two come-from-behind wins.

|Ericka performs words.
Ericka Lutz began her performing career as the "Resident Little Girl" at the College of Marin, where she performed with notables such as Dakin Matthews, Kathleen Quinlan, and Robin Williams, and worked with Director Harvey Susser. After appearing in dozens of college and community productions, she graduated from ACT's Young Conservatory in San Francisco. She studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York before returning home to the Bay Area and becoming a hanger-on (read: comedy groupie) of the San Francisco comedy scene. This involved late nights at the Holy City Zoo, improv classes at the Spaghetti Factory, understudying for lame musicals, hot tubs, discos, and the occasional limousine ride. It wasn't as fun as it sounds.

Congdons Carpet & Furniture Centre
An e-brochure site and searchable catalogue backed by a very user friendly product administration area.
We couldn't quite believe our eyes when we saw the original site for Congdons Carpet & Furniture Centre. The artwork and photographs were bad quality and the whole site in general lacked flair. The site was also very difficult and long winded to update on a regular basis.
The new Congdons site is a database driven catalogue which they are finally able to make frequent updates to with ease. We backed the product catalogue section of the site with an extremely easy to use administation area which allows their staff to add, remove and modify their products image, prices, description and much more. Along with that, they can also manage their categories in much the same way and make their chosen products available as sale items. After making a change in the administration area, the web site is updated immediately.
As well as the product catalogue, there are information pages including a brief history of the company, a map to check the premises' location and we also provided their customers with a means of contact via on online enquiry form where the details are passed on to Congdons in an e-mail.

In 1933, Mohandas K. Gandhi wrote this about his strategy of nonviolent activism, which he called the law of love: "The law will work just like the law of gravitation will work, whether we accept it or not."
I think he was right. History, from ancient China and the early Christians all the way up to the dismantling of the Soviet Union and the end of apartheid in South Africa, shows that it does work. You would think that after Gandhi's uprising in India, and after the civil rights movement in a violent and hateful American South, no one would ever again doubt that fact. And yet, even today, the most common response to nonviolence, as though it has never been tried, is, "Nice idea, but will it work?"
These days, in fact, a lot of people, including some biologists, have been leaning toward a scientific explanation for why violence refuses to go away. Their argument is that human beings have a natural predilection for aggression, war and bloodshed, and that nonviolence, appealing as it may be, is completely contrary to our nature.
In biology, a field in which there is little agreement about anything, there is a growing opinion that "group conflict" has been a determining factor in the evolutionary development of numerous species, including us. Biologists prefer the term "group conflict" -- one group fighting with another -- to "warfare" because some of the geopolitical calculations of warfare are beyond what they would call natural. But still, there is a growing belief that we feel threatened instinctively and that it is in our nature to act aggressively toward other groups.

This is a war debate. It is impossible to accept this debate. If you want to accept, please send me a PM. If you somehow find a way to accept this debate, you will automatically forfeit the complete 7 points. Tell me what country you will represent, what your WMD will be (refer to the below list), and tell me why I should choose you to be my opponent; give me a very good reason as to why you want to do this debate and why you would be a worthy opponent. I am Sweden. Comment if you are interested. If you want to debate, message me.
If you are a member of the Art of War (AOW) debate group [created by @The-Voice-of-Truth], then you must vote on this debate. If you are a member of AOW and accept this debate, then state your win/loss ratio.
If you are interested in joining AOW, message @TheRussian or @The-Voice-of-Truth. The primary prerequisite to join this group is: you have to have participated in AT LEAST ONE war debate. If you are a member of AOW, you must vote on other members' war debates unless a valid reason is given. You can challenge other members to debates related to war game scenarios.
There are some strict rules that apply. Voters must penalize any violation of the rules.
1. When you accept the debate, state your country, and state the numbers of your armed forces (aircraft, men, ships, etc.). Use this source for military numbers ONLY, as it is the most reliable: http://www.globalfirepower.com......;
2. Each country's turn can range from about 3 days to 60 days long, so all actions must be in accordance with this time period. (DO NOT try to win in one turn! Take into account that your opponent is also a living, thinking being that can adapt to a situation.)
3. Morale is a key factor in your armed forces' effectiveness.
4. You may produce more military forces (soldiers, ships, aircraft, tanks/humvees/cavalry), but it depends on your military budget, your country's population, and how industrialized your nation is.
5. You may choose to invade or defend.
6. The defender makes the first move.
7. The defender's primary military objective is to remove the attacker's forces from the defender's territory. The attacker's primary military objective is to annex the other country, or destroy it (physically, economically, etc). Secondary military objectives can be made by the debaters if they wish. Fulfillment of the military objectives is victory. If either side fails to fulfill their set objectives, the voters are free to reasonably determine the winner based off of who was more successful in completing their objectives.
8. If a nation's capital is destroyed/liberated, this does not necessarily mean that the war is won; the capital could be recaptured. If one of the debaters destroys or controls the administration of the opposing country, OR if the opposing country is destroyed to the point of no administration, then that debater is immediately guaranteed a 7-point victory.
9. Every aspect of the war must be realistic and must remain within the parameters established by the rules and the title. Any unrealistic action and actions deviating from the rules will cause the entire action to be void. Any further deviation after the first void action will result in a complete debate forfeiture.
10. You can have ONLY ONE WMD (Chooses WMD). WMD is to be used as a last resort. It can only be used if there is an extreme threat to the nation or your army. IF a WMD is to be used, you MUST fully describe the effects of its use IN DETAIL. Every aspect of the WMD's effects MUST be correct and realistic.
Any unrealistic detail in the effects will cause the use of the weapon and ALL of its effects to become void, and there will be no "restocking" of the WMD. Once you use it, you have used it, whether or not the effects are void. At the beginning of the war, you MUST specify what country you are, what WMD you will use (and describing the weapon using the below rules in the weapons' list), and you must show what the entirety of your armed forces is made of (soldier count, tanks, artillery, ships, aircraft, etc.).
Specify what your WMD is going to be. Specify ALL measurements of the WMD (yield, range, parts-per-million, altitude, longitude, latitude, etc).
You may choose ONE weapon from the following list of WMDs:
- Nuclear Weapon: The blast yield must be 209.2 billion kilojoules (50 kilotons of TNT) or LESS. You MUST specify type of detonation (underground/collapse, ground/shock, airburst/dust).
You MUST specify the location of the detonation (longitude, latitude, altitude. Also name the country, province/state, and city of detonation).
- Chemical: Maximum 15 parts-per-million. Specify chemical type. Nerve agents ARE allowed, but only one can be used.
- MOAB/FOAB: Must be used in the unconventional manner. If an MOAB/FOAB is detonated above ground and at an altitude, it has the effects of a tactical nuclear weapon (thus classifying it as a WMD) without the radiation. MUST specify location of the detonation (longitude, latitude, altitude. Also name country, province/state, and city of detonation). Note: If an MOAB/FOAB is used in a conventional manner, then it is NOT classified as a WMD.
Biological and radiological weapons are NOT allowed.
11. No allies (NATO, UN, Muslim Brotherhood, or otherwise) under ANY circumstances. Annexation of other countries or agreements that allow formations of larger nations and/or direct military intervention is NOT alloother than what is specified. You cannot receive donations or economic support from private agencies.
12. Cyberwarfare is allowed. Electronic warfare is limited to radar/radio jamming and interception; NO EMPs.
13. The country chosen must be one of the 206 sovereign states recognized by the United Nations as of 2015. Former states such as the USSR are not accepted, nor are territory-controlling factions not officially recognized by the United Nations, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, currently the Islamic State), and Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas, but recognized by the UN as a part of Palestine. You cannot choose my nation.
14. Appropriate conduct MUST be maintained: no insults, cursing, profanity, vulgar language or trolling. Any violation of appropriate conduct WILL BE REPORTED to DDO authorities.

I will take the defensive here in this war

May 17th: Relations further deteriorate when both sides send in their navies to force the other to accept a boundry
May 19th: A Swedish trade merchant ship is sunk in disputed waters, Sweden blames Poland. Sweden demands payment and an apology
May 20th: Poland refuses. Tensions are high
May 22nd: NATO realizing that a war between two countries near Russia could encourage further Russian aggression offer's to mediate the dispute.

May 25th: Sweden angered by Polish mobilization and pressured by internal calls to war declares war against Poland.
May 26th: Many countries declare neutrality. Poland scrambles their air force, ramps up fighter and tank production, as well as small arms. Poland also starts cyber warfare. They start to fortify the northern coast with 80k men and 800 tanks. They also start to place anti air guns and anti naval missiles behind the fortified lines. Poland also starts a propaganda campaign in order to bolster voluntary enlistment.
I'm currently holding back the rest of my forces to deploy as I see fit.
I'm going to stop here and allow you to respond.
Good luck
My WMD is 1000 mosquitos infected with Yellow Fever.
May 27th Sweden relises that he had better read up on the Art of War.
May 28th Sweden pays Russia 40 million to not sell natural gas and oil. This accompanied by a promise of buisness.
May 29th Sweden calls up the reserves and begins instituting propaganda posters.
June 1st Sweden pays Germany to cut off Polish border and to allow Swedish troops into the country. It is payed 20 million. 5 million is payed to slovenia, czech republic, Bulgaria, and Ukrain for the same reason. Production on boats and tanks begins.
June 3rd Sweden sends a fleet of all of its ships except for its coastal defense craft and begins to smash Poland's fleet.
July 5th Poland has lost 4 submarines 1 frigate 1 corvette and 65 other ships. Sweden lost 3 submarines no frigates 3 corettes and 25 other ships. The rememnts of Polands navy is bottled up in Gdansk by 100 Swedish ships.
July 6th 40 tanks have rolled off the line. Artillery is purchased from Russia. Sweden gets 40 towed arillery for 40 million. 50 attack aircraft is purchased for 100 million.
July 7th 10,000 men have joined up. Sweden makes a deal with Estonia to allow planes to fly there.
July 8th Sweden makes constant air raids upon fire stations in Warsaw.
July 9th Bat bomb detonated in Warsaw, the city has been burned to the ground with 93% of all buildings destroyed. Morale plummets for Poland. Sweden has an influx of enlistment. It now has an army of 70,000
July 10th under cover of 50 planes the full Swedish navy attacks Gdansk. All but three Polish boats are smashed, and 18 airplanes destroyed. The lone submarine escapes but is being pursued. Sweden looses 21 planes and 14 boats.
July 14th All Poland ports are mined and a blockade, backed up by Swedens air surrounds Poland's coast. 40 tanks and 4 boats have rolled off the line.
No land battles only sea and air battles. Your capital is destroyed our air is superiour and you cannot get natural gas or oil. Good luck winning without a fleet.
Umm ok. Sure. I pass this round.
Now, on to my response
I am going to say that the use of the bat bomb was improper, as while incendiary weapons are useful, they wouldn't destroy a city . Besides, i have a much larger and better trained air force, how did you manage to make constant air raids on my capital if my air force is scrambled to deal with any threat. Therefore, i am going to void the bombings and air raids on my capital.
July 15th: Poland realizes that that this war can only be won once the skies are captured. Poland sends a request to the United States to allow for Polish manufacture of the F-16 fighter jet. As Poland already as several in it's inventory, the United states agrees on the terms that Poland ends construction once the war is over, and does not export any built. Poland accepts this pays 500 million dollar to the United States.
July 16th: Poland shifts their manufacturing focus from tanks to aircraft. Poland also signs an agreement with Denmark and Norway to station military in their countries. Poland pays both nations 300 million each for this.
July 17th: Poland launches operation Blind man Gambit. Phase 1 Polish cyber warfare teams break into Swedish radar and starts broadcasting false signals and attacks. (I started my attacks on may 26th) Sweden is completely unaware, and deploys their air force to what seems to be an easy target of Polish cargo planes.
July 18th 6 am: Phase 2: As the Swedish air force is distracted, Poland launches a massive offensive, sending 80% of their fighters and bombers (200) to Sweden.
July 18th 11 am: Phase 3: in order to break the morale of Sweden, Poland begins massive bombing campaigns on Swedish cities near the coast, targeting Halmstad, Goteborg, and Malmo. Civilian causalities are over 300,000.
July 18th 5pm: Polish planes head back to Denmark. They are intercepted by vengeful Swedish planes who are now back in position to deal serious damage. In their assault, I lose 50 planes, and Sweden loses 22 planes.
July 20th: In order to prevent Sweden from regaining the ability to use of Radar, Poland places a numerous amount of malware, trojans and viruses on Swedish radar. It'll be months before Sweden regains control. Poland now turns their cyber attacks to the Swedish electrical grid.
I only fought air battler, but i took an offensive against you in order to bring pressure off of my sea border. Every city now has detachments of AA guns and missiles in order to counter a Swedish air threat. I also see my reserves expand by 100K as men and women sign up to defend their home.
Just to remind you I am in the lead for fighter numbers due to my purchase.
I hate my stupidity. Now I have to WMD thank you mod for catching that.
July 21 code is whiped and rebult. Will finish in four days. Until then spotters are used. Your lack of knolegde is apperant. I you wete attacking a data base then what you did woukd have taken months to repair.
July 22 All power stations are dark to the internet. Hacking is now impossible. Tigers are ppaced throughout every network.
July 23 Sweden paus 10 million to Germany to allow planes to take off and land there. They attack military covoys of airplanes because you can't get out any other way.
July 25 Sweden releses all of the Polish plotition's emails online and shuts down every power station. Cyber defenses are purchased from Russia for 10 million.
July 26 All power goes down for Poland.
July 27 Polish sub is finally caught and destroyed.
July 28 The wreckage is placed in exhibits all over the country. All avilabe land forces are sent to the norwegian border and attack plames destroy all cargo planes spotted to prevent movement if troops.
July 29 Poland runs out of oil.
July 30 Assasins kill several high up muck mucks.
August 1 20 tanks 5 attack helecopters 20 airplanes and 3 boats have been produced. AA defenses are everywhere in the cities. Walle goes up in combat mission boosting morale. He promises that poland will pay in blood for every swedish man woman or child killed by the barbarians.
I am in the green and you can't get men out except by flying which is extremely risky.
I will also void the shutting down of my power grid, you do not have the cspicity to do this as your grid is already shut down.
8/2: Poland makes an emergency deal with open to get oil. I will pay 105 percent of market value for a steady stre of oil.
8/3: Poland launches a new air assault, this time on the Swedish Navy. While casualties are high on both sides, I lost 40 fighters, Sweden lost 20 ships, it is an indecisive battle, but it alters the Swedish mindset for the war. Sweden is now on the defensive.
8/4: Poland offers a white price under threat of gas attack.
walle_ras forfeited this round.
Very well, i will concede the point that i was unsuccessful in shutting down the power grid, but if that is the case, it is impossible for you to do that to me to. I declare all shutting down of power grids void.
Well played so far!
September 20th: Poland launches a massive draft of people. 10 million are conscripted into the armed forces. They are motivated to protect the motherland from the evil invaders. What they lack in quality, they make up for in numbers
September 21: As the Swedish army is currently well placed, Poland decides to launch a special operation. Operation Tip of the hat.
September 22 - 27: Phase 1 Warsaw is evacuated, all military and people flee in what looks like panic. A WMD is armed in the center of the city unbeknownst to Sweden.
September 29: A small Army of Polish loyalists (5,000 men) launch phase 2, They launch a domed assault on Swedish positions and are decimated. With their retreat, Sweden now feels confident enough to march in to Warsaw.
September 30: Warsaw has Fallen
October 1: Poland enacts Phase 3, a VX nerve gas 15 parts-per-million wmd is detonated within the capital city. The Swedish army is decimated, but so is the city. The Polish government, now on the run,broadcasts a message to the Polish countrymen, "Today, Warsaw was destroyed, it was first burned by the Swedish, Crumbled as Swedish guns lay waste to the city, and drowned as the gas slaughtered any there. Warsaw is no more, but Poland is stronger than ever. WE WILL WIN THIS WAR. POLAND (Dramatic pause) WILL BE FREE!!!
Morale on Sweden plummets as most of their army is gassed, Poland is inspired by this turn of events and is inspired with the idea that the war is winnable.
October 3: Phase 4, in order to cut off any further line of attack, Poland pays 30 Billion directly from the reserves to the rebels to stop fighting their own countrymen, and rather, fight off a foreign invader. The Polish government also promises a restructure once the war is over in order to address the concerns of the people. Any group that refuses this offer is assaulted by a now larger Polish army. Poland also order the air force again on complete scramble, and calls back all fighter from Denmark in order to recapture air superiority.
October 7: Poland is now under a single flag once more, but Sweden is still dangerous.
October 9 - 29: Poland marches a larger army against a smaller battered Swedish army. While is take more casualties, I am fighting a war of attrition.
Poland: 107,000
Sweden: 60,000
3 tanks
November 1: Poland sends 2 million of her newly conscripted soldiers to the northern coast.
November 5th: The retreating Swedish army is trapped between two much larger forces in the city of Koszalin. They have no choice but to surrender. Poland losses: 400 men before the surrender, but gains 22,000 men in PoWS.
November 7th: Poland sends a peace treaty to Sweden.
1. Sweden will withdraw
2. Sweden will take the blame for the war
3. Sweden will pay 40 Billion Euros to Poland
4. Sweden will receive 22,000 PoWs back.

Posted by Russia_The_almighty 3 years ago
Reason: Voting
RFD: This was a very well thought out war debate I commend both of you. Unfortunately there are a few things both sides weren't doing so well in. Such as not asking me about 2 rounds ahead of time on whether or not the bat bomb was valid. If this was the 7 points debate here is how I would put it. S&G and Sources tied obviously. As for conduct, I would have wished that both of you had asked me sooner by PM than voiding things and revoiding things on you own. Argument wise, both made smarter moves than some stupid generals in history. As for the amount of people conscripted in Poland, I can not see that happening. If this was a country like India or even America I could more likely understand it, but the Polish population has only 15 million fit for service. With the amount of deaths and wounded in the country, I can't see that happening including likely all those who died at Warsaw. Now if it was I don't know 5 million that might be more likely, but after all the deaths and not 10 million joining? I can't see that happening. Therefore I apologize to Luharis,but Walle_ras wins in arguments meaning everyone should vote pro.

I bakkerne/ In the hills, 2012.
There are times when I use drawings as a means to make the right painting..This one went before a big painting..
Sometimes my drawings stand well alone.
I like the "roughness" of the drawing compared to my paintings.
It is difficult to explain - but it is about the texture of the paper (this is made for watercolours)..- about the small imperfections. (It is like with people..Imperfect people are more fun:-)
